The field that's become known as green finance could be at a tipping point. After a decade of explosive growth, it's running into a perhaps surprising roadblock: a shortage of projects that are green enough. That's set off a scramble to create a wider range of debt-market instruments and incentives.

U.S. President Donald Trump might tap the nation's emergency oil stockpile to stabilize pump prices in the wake of a major shock to global supply. The tool at his disposal is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, set up in the aftermath of the Arab oil embargo in the 1970s as a backup in case of subsequent supply shocks. It's the world's largest supply of emergency crude, stored in deep and heavily guarded underground salt caverns along the U.S. Gulf Coast. At present, the reserve totals 630 million

Capitalism creates prosperity. By channeling energies into production and innovation, it has enabled billions of ordinary people to live better than the royalty of old. But capitalism puts power into the hands of owners, including hard-to-love billionaires and multinational corporations. It's blamed for widening the gap between rich and poor.
